""New Yorkers deserve a fast, reliable and comfortable transit system," said Governor Kathy Hochul, who announced the approval alongside MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. "This is how we continue to achieve record on-time performance.""
The MTA has approved a landmark $2.3 billion order for 316 new commuter railcars, aiming for modernization of the aging fleet used by the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North. The new M-9A cars will feature modern amenities such as USB ports and improved accessibility, all built in New York. Despite the delivery timeline extending to 2032, this order represents a significant move to enhance passenger experience and avoid past failings seen with delayed projects like Grand Central Madison, where lack of modern trains hindered operations.
